Owestan

Owestan, officially known as the Republic of Owestan, was a small self-proclaimed republic located on a small spot of land located in western Björnska, within close proximity to the Björnsk-Dunnish border. It was only recognized by one country, that being the Grand Duchy of Dunwaye, who also provided the nation with military defense and state funding. The nation was ruled by 87 year old internationally feared terrorist warlord, Cards Against Humanity god and rock singer Owe Thörnqvist, existing for 1 year and 63 days in total.

In September 2018, Owestan was absorbed by the creation of the Borulean republic.

International relations
The republic is unrecognised by most nations :


 * - The Arkaystian government distanced themselves from Owestan to protect their diplomatic relations with Björnska, as well as to prevent similar uprisings on the island of Olgogradov, part of the Jamalova Islands. However, it was rumoured that militant groups within Olgogradov provided financial aid to the Owestani people. On the 15 March 2017 the mayor of Helgaheim, Ivan Grudev, announced his support of Owestan in a public speech stating that the country was "a beacon of hope for all trapped people across Maia" and declared Olgogradov's recognition of the state.
